How do I create cost estimates?
To get started, watch this brief video:
Once you've created a cost structure post-it, find Estimate on the side bar of your canvas, as seen here:

Next, select a cost structure post-it and choose fixed or variable cost, enter a value for the individual unit cost, then click submit, as seen here:
Note: if you choose a variable cost, you will need to choose your customer segment(s) then fill in some additional information.

Once you've saved your estimate, a red bubble displaying the value of your cost estimate will appear on the top right corner of your cost structure post-it. Click on this bubble from any mode to edit your estimates.

Note: The currency defaults to USD, but it can be changed at any time. Costs, revenues and profits are shown in a small chart at the bottom of the canvas when in estimate mode. You can review your numbers by using the Report view, as seen here:
